   Of course it will!  Whatever gave you the idea the Republicans would   
   do anything else?  Surely you don't believe their rhetoric anymore.   
   They've been preaching "fiscal sanity" ever since before Ronald Reagan   
   tripled the national debt.  They preached non interference in other   
   nations' affairs from the time Bush 41 pulled out of Iraq until the   
   time Bush 43 went back in.  And as soon as he left office, they went   
   right back to preaching fiscal sanity and America First again.   
      
   They been touting Obamacare repeal for six years but didn't bother to   
   put a plan together until a few weeks ago when Ryan announced the   
   embarrassment of Trumpcare, a health care plan that has everybody   
   laughing at Paul Ryan behind his back.   
      
   Republicans will always do the very opposite of what they promise.  At   
   least with the Dems, they tell you what they're going to do.  The only   
   way you know what the GOP is up to is by holding them up to a mirror   
   so you can watch them do the opposite.

   The Republicans, in true GOP fashion, have left in all the expensive   
   stuff everybody wants but cut out all the stuff that pays for it.   
   Within a decade, probably less, trillion dollar deficits will be the   
   new normal.

   I keep asking myself why fully ten percent of the pages in this bill   
   are devoted to keeping lottery winners off Medicaid.  Not that that is   
   a bad thing, indeed, anybody winning hundreds of thousands or millions   
   at lotto has no business getting any sort of government bennies.  But   
   in a bill of only 60 pages that supposedly "repeals and replaces" the   
   2000 page ACA, why did it take ten percent of them to stop this one   
   practice?  And why does it give tax breaks specifically to health care   
   provider execs?  How does collecting less tax from the VP of marketing   
   going to cover more Americans or reduce their premiums?
